Our Community

Students

Because of the high number of applications received each year, the UW School of
Law is able to select an outstanding student body. Our students are academically
sound and culturally diverse. To see the admissions statistics for the latest

J.D.s are more than just students, they are part of the community. In addition
to the 60 hours of public service each J.D. must perform prior to graduation,
our students provide advocacy through involvement with organizations such as the
Public Interest Law Association and the Innocence Project Northwest. Throughout
the academic school year, our students dedicate thousands of hours to public
legal service.

It is our philosophy that students learn not only from their professors and legal professionals, but also from each other. Our students arrive with experience ranging from years in the private sector, to service in the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, military, government and more. This diversity creates a varied and stimulating intellectual atmosphere.
